The Lady Lions (4-3) got a complete-game shutout from Taylor Funk in the opener against the Lady Knights, with Aubrey Bennett going 2-for-4 at the plate with a run scored.
In the nightcap, it was the defense of Cassie Griffin that stole the show, as the Central center fielder make a catch over the fence to rob the Golden Hawks of a home run and also made a diving snag in the gap on what would have been an extra-base hit.
Bennett got the win in the circle for the Lady Lions in the second game.
Central returns to action today at 11:30 a.m. against former region foe Troup.
